Q. What kind of sequence is this?\newline726,726,726,726,726, 726, 726, 726, \ldots\newlineChoices:\newline(A) arithmetic\newline(B) geometric\newline(C) both\newline(D) neither
  1. Verify Consecutive Differences: Let's verify if the differences between consecutive terms are uniform. Given sequence: 726,726,726,726,726, 726, 726, 726, \ldots\newlineAre the consecutive differences in the sequence equal? \newline726726=0726 - 726 = 0, 726726=0726 - 726 = 0, 726726=0726 - 726 = 0.\newlineYes, the consecutive differences in the sequence are equal and all are zero.
  2. Check Ratios Between Terms: Let's check whether the ratios between consecutive terms are equal. Given sequence: 726,726,726,726,726, 726, 726, 726, \ldots\newlineAre the ratios between consecutive terms in the sequence equal? \newlineSince all terms are the same, the ratio of any term to the previous term is 726/726=1726 / 726 = 1.\newlineYes, the sequence has a common ratio of 11.
  3. Sequence Type: Arithmetic sequence: Consecutive terms have a common difference.\newlineGeometric sequence: Consecutive terms have a common ratio.\newline726,726,726,726,726, 726, 726, 726, \ldots What type of sequence is this?\newlineThe sequence has a common difference of 00 and a common ratio of 11. It satisfies the conditions for both an arithmetic and a geometric sequence.
